Black trim and Leather seats
What's good to use on the black trim to keep it from getting that fading look? Any what should I use on my leather seats so they don't crack?

I use Mequiars Detail Black on the trim and swear by Lexol for the leather (both the cleaner and conditioner) The stuff is terrific and doesn't make your leather glossy.  Just passed 30K miles and the leather literally looks new.

Meguiars is working for me,just go easy on how much you put on,as I found lots of dust sticking.I now apply it by spraying a cloth,then wiping that on,rather than spraying direct onto the surface.I'm finding most things work better that way

I found the same thing w/ the Z1 trim dressing, but I like it otherwise. Do they all do this???
(sorry Liz, no help on the seats...I've got cloth.  )

I have a dust question,but will start another thread on that,but I find less product,more gentle wiping to be best.

Check out the Sonus leather conditioner. It's relatively new so I just had to try it. The customer raves were really great so I gave it a shot and I found it to be SUPER easy to use, much easier than Lexol and Autoglym, which I also have, and smells better than my Connolly.
My other favorite is Zaino. It smells the absolute best of anyof them and is really easy to use also.
Finally, for mass merchant products, the best is Mothers Leather Care. Far better, IMO, than Meguiars or EagleOne.
